AWARENESS IN THE USE OF LANGUAGE SPEAKING STRATEGIES IN BUSINESS ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE
Moira Kostić- Bobanović
Sažetak
The study described in this paper was carried out with the aim of establishing the relationships between self-estimated and actually used language speaking strategies in Business English as a foreign language.
The sample consisted of 84 Faculty of Economics and Tourism students who had been studying English for at least 8 years. They were divided in two groups: experimental and control. Students attending the experimental group were taught how to use speaking language learning strategies. Data about their level of awareness to use language learning strategies for speaking was measured by means of the questionnaire Speaking strategies (Kostić-Bobanović, 2004).
Data analysis shows that there were significant differences between actually used and self-estimated use of strategies in both the experimental and control groups. However, students from the experimental groups are more aware of used strategies than those in the control group. The importance of teaching specific strategies was discussed.
